Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2061189A1] An Ethernet frame transmission method is provided. The method includes the following steps. An ingress edge node of a first level virtual local area network (VLAN) switching (VS) tunnel connected to a second level VS tunnel multiplexes the second level VS tunnel bearing an Ethernet frame sent from a transmitter into the first level VS tunnel, in which the second level VS tunnel is identified by a unique virtual channel (VC) tag. An intermediate node of the first level VS tunnel switches the Ethernet frame of the first level VS tunnel by adopting a VS technology, and transparently transmits the second level VS tunnel and the VC tag carried by the first level VS tunnel. An egress edge node of the first level VS tunnel demultiplexes the first level VS tunnel into a corresponding second level VS tunnel according to the VC tag to transmit the Ethernet frame. An Ethernet architecture is also provided. Thus, the scalability of the VS technology can be improved.
